It's a Circus Out There

A few weeks ago, the kindergarten classes at Abigail's school performed a circus, The Greatest Show on Earth. And, it did, in fact, bring the circus to our house! Abigail was assigned to be a dancing chicken as well as a tightrope walker. However, there would be no time for costume changes, and if anyone was assigned to more than one circus act, they had to pick one costume and make it work for both acts. My first thought... A chicken?! Seriously?! Ugh... My second thought... I am not making thought. Internet shopping here I come. That was two weeks before the performance when I ordered the costume. Flash forward to a night before the circus when the costume had not yet arrived and I was at Hobby Lobby buying the materials to sew it. Grr.... But, she turned out to be a pretty cute chicken!

I'm still not sure what the point of this spectacle was, but the kids were pretty cute and even funny at times. Abigail's friend, Grayson, was the ring master.

The elephants jumping through hoops were mildly entertaining. But, I could tell there weren't any parents who stayed up late the night before making those costumes. Ha!

Maddie, who you may remember from the horse farm party, was an excellent hula hooper.

Abigail's best friend, Liam, was a clown driving a silly "car".

This juggler was actually quite impressive!

And, of course, Abigail's dancing chicken routine was quite comical.

Last, but not least, I know you can't wait to hear how we tied in the dancing chicken and tightrope routine into one costume...
